Check Out (And Help Out) Bloodshot's 15th Birthday Party

Bloodhsot has hijacked this year's Hideout Block Party to throw their 15th Anniversary Beer-B-Q! Bands playing include the reunited Blacks, Bobby Bare Jr., Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, The Deadstring Brothers, Alejandro Escovedo, and The Waco Brothers. And, as is tradition with the hideout Block Parties, the party also acts as a fundraiser and this year it benefits Rock For Kids and 826 Chicago.

In order to keep this massive enterprise running (and affordable) the organizers are depending on the kindness of strangers, specifically in the form off volunteers doing everything from running the gates to pouring the beer. If you're interested in joining the ranks of the good folks donating their time to a worthy cause then email volunteer coordinator Kyle Curry at kyle [at] rockforkids [dot] org.

And hey, if you don't want to volunteer, we can dig it. If you just want to attend the festivities as a fan and take all the music in at your leisure then you can pick up tickets to the party here.

The Bloodshot 15th Anniversary Beer-B-Q is on Saturday, September 12, at Hideout, 1354 W Wabansia, starting at noon, $10 suggested donation, all ages
